    I figured out how to get a map onto the profile screen.
    View somebody's profile, and you will see the new User Location Map. (At this point, everybody lives in Seattle - the map isn't connected to data yet).

    Update on Live User Map:

    View my profile and you will see a map with my location.
    This is geodata that is being pulled from my profile - including the blue pin for my 560.

    Currently, all other profile's have blank geodata, so the maps will be at the equator, south of Greenwich (0,0). Zoom out far enough and you'll see Africa.

    The 'View Profile' screen is done. Next step is to modify the 'Edit Profile' screen to allow users to set their pin location, thus creating their geodata.

    All of the existing geodata from the old map has been moved into the new profile driven map. Click on your profile to see your location. I don't have the interface to change your pin location done yet, but you can change your pin color. Edit your profile, and look for the drop-down box.

    I also added a field for 'Teardrop Nickname' to the User Profile.

    Added the mini-map into the Edit Profile screen. The location on the map can't be changed yet, but the pin color on the map will change according to your selection.

    Also, imported the pin colors from the old map into everybody's profiles.

    Evan, I was trying to figure out how to get there next year too. Maybe we can caravan out! Wanna meet in Spokane? :) Laddy has been looking for Katie at every campground (or camping trip we take). He was sure he saw her all over California and a few times on the Oregon coast.

    Sounds like a plan, Sarah.

    You can now set the location for your own pin. Actually, you can set two different pins: Your home location (with the appropriate color for your trailer), and a second Red pin for when you are on the road.

    The next step is creating the main map that shows all the pins simultaneously. It should be great fun to be able to see all those red pins moving about...

    Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!

    Evan, that is very cool. It seems that the 'current' location is the one shown in our profiles, right?

    Next, we want to see our current positions in real-time, moving around on the map like little ants...

    I've made myself the first arrival at CICO.

    If you check 'On the Road' then your profile will show your Current location with a red pin. Otherwise, your normal home location will be shown in your profile.

    Just a quick test to see how the map is working. Where do we see the map of home base and where we are based on the settings in the profile?

    And I just found the map and I am swimming off of the west coast of Nigeria :)

    Evan I move the pin to my street and it keeps moving to the middle of Staten Island what am I doing wrong. :)

    Gary,
    Under 'My Stuff', 'Edit Profile', look for 'Home Location' and 'Pin Location' boxes. If you check the box 'on the road!', your Pin Location will be shown when people view your Profile. Otherwise, your Home Location will be shown.

    Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page once you've entered your Home and Pin Locations and click the 'Submit' button.

    Hope that's what you were looking for.

    If I check on road things are good. With it turned off I off the west coast of Africa. If I drag it and the hit submit I go back to swimming. Arms getting tired, slosh slosh slosh.....
